stage on forest temporary installation

The City of Laguna Beach Arts Commission is seeking an artist to create a temporary sculpture installation or stage-floor mural to be installed at the Stage on Forest, located at the corner of Forest Avenue and Glenneyre Street. The design should celebrate and include references to sea-life conservation and Laguna Beach being a marine sanctuary. It is highly encouraged that the proposed installation makes use of recycled and/or repurposed materials.

The stage is utilized for live music on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings and must remain accessible to performances. Proposed installations should not block the store-front window. Murals would be expected to be painted on plywood sheets off site, transported in, and fastened to the stage deck.

Installations must be durable, safe to the public, and withstand an unprotected display. Work must be appropriate in content for a public setting and audiences of all ages. The selected artist would be required to enter a contract with the City of Laguna Beach, have liability insurance naming the City as additionally insured for installation and removal.

June 4, 2024 – Installation complete.

June 6, 2024 – Public dedication of artwork.

Jurying Process:

The seven members of the City of Laguna Beach Arts Commission, with input from the Youth Art Advisory Board, will review designs anonymously for creativity and visual impact. The Arts Commission may select one or multiple proposals and reserves the right to reject all proposals.
